PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR LOST LOVED ONES
“Lessons from Esther and The Orders Of Mordecai”
A Testimony by Deborah B. Harrell

In 2006, at the age 59, my doctors diagnosed me with an incurable lung condition called Pulmonary Fibrosis. I ingested second-hand smoke more than half my life and suffered repeated bouts of persistent pneumonia and inflammation that severely scarred my lungs.  Life expectancy for someone with this condition is 3 to 5 years.  Because of my age, I was told my life expectancy would probably fall on the shorter end of the scale.

"For Her I Have A Hope and Plan"   
A Testimony of Childhood Molestation
by Deb Harrell
Have you ever wondered if God didn't care what was happening to you when you were shattered to bits, when you were going through more than you thought you could bear, why He did not stop what was happening to you or your loved ones?  Based on the story of Job (Book of Job) and the promise of hope in Jeremiah 29:11, I hope this will help you know that there was activity in Heaven on your behalf all along and a plan far greater than the circumstance you were enduring.

Coming Features
Marolyn Ford, "Grace to Endure"
Shattered Health
LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT TWO MIRACLES OF HEALING!  World-renowned author, speaker and conference leader, Marolyn Ford's world crumbled at her feet when she became blind at the age of eighteen. Blindness was more than losing her eyesight, it was an attack on her self-image. It was a dying to the only way of life she had ever known.  After thirteen years, God miraculously restored her sight during a bedside prayer. But, after faithfully serving God through her ministry of writing, speaking and encouraging, she was struck with another incredible physical challenge after an accident triggered Digestive Failure.  This left Marolyn unable to eat or drink for more than a decade. You will be deeply touched, challenged and inspired by her endurance and faith to believe God for yet another miracle of healing from this life-shattering challenge. And you will be blessed to hear how God did, indeed, provide another miracle of healing.  Marolyn is once again able to eat and drink anything she desires and has gone on to continue to share a message of hope, faith and miracles. You will definitely want to invite Marolyn Ford to share her miracles of God's grace and power with your group or organization.

Dr. Roy Brunson, President of World Light Ministries,  "Shattered Business and Finances" 
Roy Brunson was a bitter, ruthless, ruined and depressed businessman who was planning his suicide during a flight from Dallas to Memphis when the lady in the seat next to him punched him and started asking about his spiritual condition.  He was rude and loudly rejected her inquiries, but she persisted unashamedly.  That woman was Marolyn Ford, who shared how God gave her a miraculous healing of her sight.  This divine appointment and the long-suffering prayers of his faithful wife began to open Roy's blind eyes as well.  

Now, Dr. Roy Brunson is the co-founder and president of World Light Ministries Inc., a ministry that financially supports  Ukrainian pastors, orphanages and a regional children's hospital in Kirovograd, Ukraine. He has been to Ukraine and Russia over thirty times and has led numerous missionary teams and crusades to these countries. In May of 2000, over thirty-four hundred men, women and children repented and received Christ during one of the World Light Ministries crusades in Ukraine alone.  And that is only a fraction of the scope of Dr. Brunson's ministry. 

Don't miss how one restored shattered pot was used to hold a candle that shed light for another shattered pot to see a plan and purpose for his life...and consider how God can use your own shattered pot story to minister to and comfort others and perhaps someday be a springboard to new ministry like that of Dr. Roy Brunson.

John Smid, Executive Director for Grace Rivers Ministry,   "Shattered Families"
John Smid shares testimony and a tribute to his Dad who loved his son unconditionally and without judgement despite his choice to end his marriage to step openly into a lifestyle of same-sex relationships.  After being delivered from that lifestyle by the power of the Holy Spirt, John shares how God led him to minister to others struggling with sexual identity issues and addictions...and to the woman he has been married to now for over 20 years.
